Toolbox database access error
Toolbox database access error
(OP)
Hello,
I'm getting an error that won't let me use the hole wizard. It is an access error related to toolbox. Below is the error which I'll explain further. The computer name is my computer and I have been setting up the toolbox, but I'm not logged in as the Admin (I do have admin rights though). Earlier this morning, I was able to use the hole wizard without getting this error. I'm on SW 2007 sp1.1
Any suggestions for cause, and/or fixes?

Thank you,

RE: Toolbox database access error
Are you sure that you or somebody else didn't log in and then not log out?
Take a look at your task manager and see if there's a process running uner the 'Admin' account.
You may have to chalk this one up to the Windows gremlins.

What were you referring to when you mentioned not "logging out"?

I somehow got around the error from the initial post, but now I'm seeing it again. I discovered that the computer that maintains access has mmc.exe running as the administrator on that system. I'm not sure why or how to control that. Any tips as to where to go from here? Its becoming quite an issue here.

I think you should try and move the TB to a server location Copy the DB to that location and change each users path to the location on the server and see if you get the same response

RE: Toolbox database access error
Actually, we have the TB on the server. But when a user goes into the Options>Hole Wizard/Toolbox>Configure, then the administrator account of that users computer takes sole ownership (according to the dialog box). Keep in mind that it just started doing it the other day, after having been working fine.

Thanks. The error I'm getting is slightly different in wording, but it appears to be related similar in that it involves access to the swbrowser.mdb.
I checked permissions to the file and everyone should be able to access it. Also, I restarted the server the other day and its worked since then. However, I don't think its fixed, it just hasn't given us a problem since no one has went in to the configure dialog box (tools menu) since I restarted. That's when the problem occurs. I'm afraid to try it because the only fix appears to be restarting the server.
